Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jul 10, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,400 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 288 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,349 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,215 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's most recent midblock count on Carlaw Ave between Lake Shore Blvd E and Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (89 m away, Mar 2014) recorded volume only — about 8,536 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Carlaw Ave · Lake Shore Blvd E – Lake Shore Blvd East Trl · 89 mMar 2014 · 3 days8,536

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
